2012 BMW M3 Convertible

The high-performance drop-top follows in the footsteps of the new M3 Coupe and M3 Sedan. Like its solid-roof counterparts, the Convertible is powered by a 4.0 liter V8 producing 414 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The drop-top’s main competitors are the Audi RS4 Convertible and the Mercedes CLK 63 AMG. BMW is also using the convertible to debut its seven-speed M DCT dual-clutch transmission. The seven-speed system promises shifting as smooth as a conventional automatic and faster than a manual gearbox or SMG transmission. Of course, customers can still opt for a regular six-speed manual. Apart from the body structure, only the doors, the retractable hardtop, the luggage compartment lid, the windows and the rear lights come from the standard open-air version of the BMW 3-Series. The range of brand-new body components, therefore, is virtually the same as in the M3 Coupe.

BMW Z4 Roadster 2006

Coinciding with the launch of the BMW Z4 M Roadster, the entire Z4 Roadster range receives visual and substantial mechanical enhancements.

Engines: Topping the new range is the Z4 3.0si, featuring BMW’s innovative magnesium alloy in-line six-cylinder engine. Featuring Valvetronic valve lift and VANOS valve timing, the Z4 3.0si develops 265hp at 6,600rpm and 315Nm of torque at 2,750rpm. These impressive statistics help power the car from zero to 62mph in 5.7 seconds and, if left unchecked, continues to a maximum electronically limited top speed of 155mph. However, these levels of performance aren’t at the expense of economy, with the 3.0si delivering 32.8mpg over the combined cycle. Two in-line six-cylinder 2.5-litre variants will be offered – the Z4 2.5si and 2.5i. Based on the same engine, but differentiated by output, the 2.5si offers 218hp and 250Nm of torque from its 2,497cc powerplant. This gives the power to sprint from standstill to 62mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 149mph, while still delivering 33.6mpg on the combined cycle. By contrast, the 2.5i delivers 177hp and 230Nm of torque. The only engine carried over from the out-going range is the four-cylinder Z4 2.0i that was launched in April 2005. Produced at BMW’s Hams Hall plant near Coventry, the 1,995cc engine features BMW’s Valvetronic and VANOS technologies to develop 150hp at 6,200rpm and 200Nm of torque at 3,600rpm. The lighter weight of this engine helps deliver sharp performance, with the Z4 2.0i dispatching the zero to 62mph sprint in 8.2 seconds before hitting a top speed of 137mph.

BMW Convertible Cars

BMW (Bavarian Motor Works) has been at the forefront of automotive design and production since the 1960’s with the inception of the BMW 1500 and BMW 2002. The high standard of modern engineering traditions for its time, marked the turning point for the evolution of the BMW brand. Like so many European car brands, BMW has had its fair share of intrigue in the annals of automotive history. Before World War l, BMW manufactured aircraft engines. However, as part of a post war treaty, BMW moved on to producing motorcycles in 1923 and later cars in 1928. There has even been recent debates about the meaning behind the instantly recognisable and distinguished logo of the circular blue and white roundel. It has been argued that the logo does not represent the white blades of an aircraft propeller cutting through a blue sky, but symbolises the colours of the Free State of Bavaria. BMW’s wealth of experience in automotive production and its much celebrated history within the world of motor racing means that not only are the levels of technology and engineering are at their premium, but as the parent company for car brands like MINI and Rolls Royce, the highest levels of luxury, performance and peerless build quality continue to be delivered to consumers.
